Litigation Review : 2018

2018 was a busy year in the field of tax litigation, with almost 20,000 cases being disposed of across forums. The volume of litigation took a slight dip compared to earlier years in view of the Tax Effect circular issued by the CBDT on 11 July, 2018 which prescribed higher monetary limits for appeals filed by the revenue and additionally, was retrospective in nature. We decided to do a quick by the numbers review of the litigation in 2018.
